El Poquito is a delightful collision between an artisanal taco truck and an old school cantina-where the flavors are intense, the service is familiar, and the fresh-juiced margaritas flow like water. Inspired by the beach side cantinas and taquerías of Baja Mexico and named after the iconic motorcycle that was the favored mode of transport amongst local surfers, El Poquito ("the little one") is winning fans with a whimsical approach to quality food and drink in Philadelphia's Chestnut Hill neighborhood. Relaxed and fun. Always fresh. Local and sustainable a must. Organic, when possible. Gluten-free, no problem. Vegetarian, lots of options. Inside or out. Nightly happy hour specials. Taco Tuesday! Our Food Veteran chef Andrew Sabin brings the Baja experience to life with his farm-to-table inspired interpretation of traditional cantina dishes, including tacos, enchiladas, ceviches, and salsas. Don't miss Chef Andrew's nightly specials when he gets a chance to showcase the freshest ingredients available from local farms and purveyors.

This place is cute but I won't be returning. My partner and I came on an early Friday evening and because of his cute it looked outside, I requested a table outside. It was just two of us so we...

Never got to taste the food since no one ever came over to take my order. Food probably taste as bad as the service. Decor is OK since I had a long opportunity to sit there and stare at the wall.
